According to a recent survey, 31 percent of the residents of a certain state who are age 25 years or older have a bachelor’s degree. A random sample of 50 residents of the state, age 25 years or older, will be selected. Let the random variable B represent the number in the sample who have a bachelor’s degree. What is the probability that B will equal 40 ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of  getting B=40 is [tex]0.11\times 10^{-11}[/tex] which is negligible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 31 percent of the residents of a certain state who are age 25 years or older have a bachelor’s degree.

Assuming the population of the state aged 25 years or more is Bernoulli's population.

So, when 1 person aged 25 years or more from the state selected randomly, the probability of that person, p, having a bachelor’s degree,

[tex]p= 31/100=0.31\cdots(i)[/tex]

Now, according to Bernoulli's formula, the probability of exactly r success from the total number of sample n is

[tex]P(r)=\binom{n} {r}p^r(1-p)^{n-r}\cdots(ii)[/tex]

where p is the probability of success.

Here, a random sample of 50 residents of the state, age 25 years or older, will be selected.

So, n=50.

Given that variable B represents the number in the sample who have a bachelor’s degree,

We have to find the probability that B will equal 40.

So, r=B= 40.

Now, putting these values in equation(ii) and using p=0.25 from equation (i), we have

[tex]P(r=40)=\binom{50} {40}(0.31)^{40}(1-0.31)^{50-40}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac {50!}{40! (50-40)!}(0.31)^{40}(0.69)^{10} \\\\=\frac {50!}{40! \times 10!}(0.31)^{40}(0.69)^{10} \\\\=0.11\times 10^{-11}[/tex]

So, the probability of  getting B=40 is [tex]0.11\times 10^{-11}[/tex] which is negligible.

Answer 2

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a [tex]1.13 \times 10^{-12}[/tex] probability that B will equal 40.

-----------------------------

For each resident, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a bachelor's degree, or they do not. The probability of a resident having a bachelor degree is independent of any other resident, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]  

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

31% have a bachelor's degree, thus [tex]p = 0.31[/tex].Sample of 50, thus [tex]n = 50[/tex].

The probability is:

[tex]P(B = 40) = C_{50,40}(0.31)^{40}(0.69)^{10} = 1.13 \times 10^{-12}[/tex]  

[tex]1.13 \times 10^{-12}[/tex] probability that B will equal 40.

A bakery produced two batches of bread with 80 loves in each batch. It sold 30 loves each hour. How many loves of bread were sold in 4 hours? How many loves of bread were left to sale

Answers

Answer:

-120 loves of bread were sold in 4 hours.

-40 loves of bread wereleft to sale.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount of loves of bead that were sold in 4 hours, you have to mutiply the amount of loves sold each hour for 4:

30*4=120

This means that 120 loves of bread were sold in 4 hours.

Now, to determine the amount of loves of bread left to sale, you have to find the amount of loves produced on the two batches of bread by multiplying the amount produce in each batch for 2:

80*2=160

Finally, you have to subtract the amount of loves sold in 4 hours from the amount produced in two batches:

160-120=40

According to this, 40 loves of bread were left to sale.

Angela baked cookies. She gave 1/3 of them to her sister, and she put 5/8 of the remaining cookies in the freezer. If she had 1 dozen cookies left, how many cookies did she bake?

Answers

Answer:

We find the fraction of a number by doing two steps: first, multiply the whole number by the numerator, and then divide the product we get by the denominator.

multiplying fraction by a number

Let's solve real-world problems about fractions of a number.

Word Problem Examples

cookies

Jane baked 24 chocolate chip cookies. She gave 1/3 of the cookies to her neighbor. How many cookies did she give to her neighbor?

What is the problem asking us to do?

That's right!

We need to figure out what 1/3 of 24 is.

1/3 of 24 is the same as this:

24 × 1/3 = ?

First, multiply 24 by the numerator:

24 × 1 = 24

Then, divide the product we got by the denominator:

24 ÷ 3 = 8

✅ Now we know that she gave 8 cookies to her neighbor.

Here are more questions about this problem:

Of the cookies that were left, Jane gave 3/4 to her parents, and she ate the rest. How many cookies did she give to her parents? How many cookies did she eat?

The problem tells us to figure out two things:

- the number of cookies that Jane gave to her parents,

- the number of cookies that Jane ate.

But first, we have to find out how many cookies were left, after Jane gave some away to her neighbor.

She started with 24 cookies and gave 8 cookies away.

Let's subtract:

24 - 8 = 16 cookies

So, Jane had 16 cookies left.

How many cookies did Jane's parents get if she gave them 3/4 of 16?

3/4 of 16 is the same as this:

16 × 3/4 = ?

First, multiply 16 by the numerator:

16 × 3 = 48

Then, divide the product we got by the denominator:

48 ÷ 4 = 12

✅ Jane gave 12 cookies to her parents.

Now, let's find out how many cookies Jane ate.

We know that Jane ate all the cookies that were left.

She had 16 cookies. Then, she gave 12 to her parents.

How many are left?

We need to subtract to figure this out:

16 - 12 = 4

✅ Jane ate 4 cookie

She baked 48 cookies in total as obtained by forming a numerical expression of the statement.

What is a numerical expression?

A numerical expression is a mathematical statement written in the form of numbers and unknown variables. We can form numerical expressions from statements.

Given that, Angela baked x cookies.

She gave 1/3 of them to her sister, and she put 5/8 of 5/8th of the remaining cookies in the freezer.

x - (1/3)x - (2/3)×(5/8)x = 12.

x - (1/3)x - (5/12)x = 12.

(2/3)x - (5/12)x = 12.

(8x - 5x)/12 = 12.

3x = 144.

x = 48
